Finished a Crack. First, a stock Crack. Lived with it for a little while. Listened, acclimated myself, did a shake down. All's good. Sounds/sounded very nice stock. Then, installed the Speedball C4S. Yes, better, and in just about every way.

I would appreciate some others' look at the test voltages I'm measuring. Mostly, two meaures are notably different from the bogey values. From the assembly manuals, I read and understand there can be a fair bit of variance. The Crack + Speedball seems to otherwise be performing very nicely. It's Crackin' fun.

Here's what I've got:

Crack tested voltages.

Wired for measured house mains voltage of approx. 118-119V AC.

Tested voltages, PT-10
1.   Terminals 7 and 9 = 5.99VAC. Manual, 6.5V AC ±20%.
2.   Terminals 12 and 11 = 167VAC. Manual, 175VAC ±20%.

Tested voltages, Speedball

12AU7
1.   OA, measured 80VDC. Manual, 60-90VDC.
2.   IA, measured 180VDC. Manual, 170-270VDC.
3.   B-A/B, measured 0.5mV DC. Manual, 0VDC.
4.   IB, measured 180VDC. Manual, 170-270VDC.
5.   OB, measured 86VDC. Manual, 60-90VDC.

6080
1.   OA, measured 112VDC. Manual, 75-100VDC.
2.   OB, measured 109VDC. Manual, 75-100VDC.
3.   G, measured 0.5mVDC. Manual, 0VDC.
4.   B+, measured 180VDC. Manual, 170-195VDC.

Anything to note about the OA and OB measures, both being higher than the manual's bogey values?

Thanks!

There's nothing to worry about there.
